I-751 May 2014 Filers

[ayuki_nill 2]

I went for an infopass today and got my passport stamped. TIP: If your last name in the passport is different, they ask for a passport photo. I had to go to Walgreens next door to get it.

The officer couldn't tell me anything about my case besides what I already knew. It is still processing in Vermont. She told me to wait for decision and not worry. At the same time she said a few times that my interview wasn't scheduled yet. I asked her if I was selected for an interview and she said NO. Confusing!!! It will be 11 months since I filed on April 25th.

Hi there,

We're on the same boat. They told me nothing but wait (spoke to tier 2.) I believe there are many people out there who are like us, so don't sweat much.

I'm getting ready to have my passport stamped as well.

This is definitely taking too long! I hope everything works out and you get your approval soon

So I figured I would give everyone here a little info on what happened with our case. When we first filed the removal application it was in the first week of May (waited until their was two weeks left before their green card expired) and received the 1yr extention document. The proof of evidence we sent was laughable when compared to others on here. I purposely did this because I wanted to see if all the evidence was necessary; basically we wanted to experiment around with this process so that hopefully our experience will help others relax during this last process since adjusting one's status is a nightmare! We wasn't worried about whether or not we would get denied because my wife and I's marriage is, without a doubt, legit and any face-to-face interview (separated or not) would prove that.

So on to what we sent:

1. Six months worth of detailed bank statements that showed a list of ALL our purchases (there was A LOT of purchases since we do that a lot together XD). The way I did this was I skipped every other month for a full year, so it was like Jan, March, May, etc....

2. 2013 Tax Return (every last page, which was unnecessary now that we look back).

3. Proof of current car insurance.

4. A letter with our names on it from the IRS saying that we'd paid our debt off to them (solid piece of evidence =)! Can't question a letter from them!)

5. A letter written by my stepfather saying that we currently, and have been since 2012, living in his house rent free since he is out of town for the majority of the year.

6. Printed out forms from our bank that show we are on each others accounts, which also indirectly means that we are beneficiaries of those accounts.

And that was it. We didn't send 2012's tax return, which ended up being a mistake because we received an RFI (think that's the abbreviation) on 23rd of December. The letter listed things that they wanted and guess what, they wanted 2012's tax return and a housing lease agreement (not sure about the lease agreement, I'd have to look again) and that was it. Btw, the things that they wanted was separate from the list that they recommend sending. This list specified exactly what they wanted returned. It also detailed what they received, which wasn't everything we sent. Now that I think about it, we didn't even need to send everything that we did the first time. This could have been because we didn't send a cover that showed what was in our envelope. Also, the letter said that if they didn't receive a response by the second week of March, then our application would automatically get denied. We sent this stuff back the first week of March.

This is what we sent back:

1. 2012's tax return.

2. 2014's tax return since we'd already filed for this year.

3. All the documents that got lost:

-Car insurance forms: the 1st document we sent and another because we just renewed or policy).

-Bank statements showing shopping history.

-The forms from the bank that showed we are on each others accounts.

-Couldn't send the letter my stepfather wrote out because I sent the original.

4.Cover letter stating what was in the envelope this time. I also wrote on the cover letter that forms that show we are on each others accounts indirectly means we are beneficiaries over the accounts and that we have no housing lease agreement because we live in my stepfather's home and that I sent a letter that was written from him stating that.

And that is all I sent them the for RFI. And looking at this now, they lost over half the stuff we sent, lol.

Oh yeah, we got our approval letter two days ago! Forgot to mention that!! XD

congratulations Sanniep

[ichigo85 6]

Kash2011, I actually meant it would be ONE YEAR since I filed on April 25th not 11 months. I can not believe it!!! And they tell me to sit and wait...

If your case is a normal one, then I wouldn't worry about it. I filed two weeks before the deadline and it took 11mnths before we received an approval letter.

My belief is that if a couple has a normal case and they get approved for the 2yr conditional GC, then there shouldn't be any reason to not get approved for ROC.

[sanniep 1]

ok i see that smoky68 and sanniep is the same they both mine will have to fix it when i get home or some one can for me i for get my logg in i guess i had 2

[kallyvincent 0]

They received our packet May 12th 2014, then he went for biometrics sometime in June. I don't remember the exact date. We put a request for information in 1/26/15 to check on our case and received a letter stating we would hear something in 60 days. We called this morning and were transferred to a tier 2 person who said they were processing it now and it would be sent to our local office. I thought if it gets sent to our local office that means an interview is going to be scheduled? Please correct me if I'm wrong on this, because that's the feeling I got on the phone with her. No, we did not have an RFE.

Any info you all have is greatly appreciated!

Just an update: We received a text and email from USCIS today. His greencard has been mailed!! I was wrong about having an interview! Finally...almost 1 year later.

Hi guys! I need word of advise. I'm confused more than ever. So as you all know we had interview and officer denied our case, today I checked online status and it's saying we have ordered your new card and will mailed to the address stated in you application. OMG is it a mistake or how it's even possible, does it ever happened to someone? Have you heard stories like this? I don't know should I be happy or not, because I'm afraid what if it's not real, please share your opinions, I will appreciate your answers!
